The origin of the art and practice of
land surveying is lost in the mists o
antiquity but that it was one of the
early professions there can be no reas
onable doubt. A* population increas
ed on the earth the very existence of
the tribe of of the family depended
upon the proprietorship of the land
over which the men hunted or later
eked out a pastoral living. The pas
toral life more especially led to a divi
sion of the available land among the
families and individuals. Probably
the medicine man or village sorcerer
was the one who knew best the limits
of area over which the tribe held sway
and he may be the progenitor of the
present day highly qualified land sur
veyor.
When the Dominion of Canada acquir
ed from the Hudson’s Bay Company
that great area known as Rupert’s
Land, the survey and administration
of it were early entrusted to the De
partment of the Interior. By the Do
minion Lands Act, provision was
made for a Board of Examiners which
was to examine into the qualifications
and experience of candidates and to
issue commissions as Dominion Land
Surveyors. The Surveyor General of
Dominion Lands, Department of the
Interior, was to act as chairman of
the board. In the Act it was provided
that any duly qualified land surveyor
in the then existing provinces of Can
ada who registered was entitled to a
commission as Dominion Land Sur
veyor and many secured commissions
in this manner. Since the date of the
Act, 1872, however, many others have
qualified before the Board of Exam
iners.
AU surveys of or affecting Dominion
lands may be made only by those thus
qualified. In each province, however,
there arc lands over which the prov
ince has jurisdiction and legal surveys
affecting these land* may be made only
by a duly qualified surveyor for that
particular province. As the technical
qualifications are very similar in the
provinces of the Dominion, it is quite
often the case that a Dominion Land
Surveyor has also qualified to make
survey* in one or more of the prov
ince* and many of them have estab
lished provincial practices.
The list of Dominion Land Survey
or*, past and present, carries the names
of many distinguished Canadian*. Dr.
E DeviUe, Dr. W. F. King. Dr. O. J.
Klotz, were three outstanding men in
the Civil Service of Canada. Other*
still living hold honored positions in
the federal and provincial services,
with the Canadian Pacific and Cana
dian National railways, and as univer
sity professors, while those in business
for themselves are scattered all over
the country, not only in the profession
of their early days but at lawyers,
bankers, invesment brokers, and ex
ecutive and administrative managers.
To be a successful surveyor in a new
country requires resourcefulness in A
high degree and indomitable pluck,
qualities which stand their possessors
in good stead if they take up other
vocations.

(Brantford Expositor)
After prolonged negotiation and dis
cussion the high council of the Salva
tion Army assembled in London, Eng
land, by an overwhelming vote of fifty-
five to eight, adjudged General Bram
well Booth unfit to continue in office.
It is somewhat difficult for outsiders
to criticize the action of the council, in
view of the fact that the vote was so
nearly unanimous. At the same time
there will be profound sympathy for
the commander-in-chief, who has been
the head of the Army for sixteen year*.
When the intimation was first con
veyed to him that the high council
wished him to retire, he declared that,
after his active service of more than
forty-eight years, it was a crushing
blow.
His father. General William Booth,
continued to administer the affairs of
the Army until he was well past eighty
year* of age and died as commander
in-chief. There will be a good deal of
sympathy with his son and successor
under the present circumstances. No
evidence has been adduced to show
that the administration of the Army
has fuffered in any way by reason of
General Bramwell Booth's illness. It
has been carried on by hi» chief-of-
staB under his orders, and it would
appear to be the seemly thing to have
allowed the General to retain his of
fice and end his life as commander-in- I chief of the Army. How far the action
Ine to personal ambition is hard
that sin fell the angels," and again,
"Let all th; ends be thy country’s and
thy God’s."
There will be sincere regret on the
part of the public everywhere if, a* a
result of the action of the high council,
the Army is plunged into bitter litiga
tion and controversy. Rather than this
it would appear to have been better for
the reform element to have waited for
a while before it attempted to re
organize the Army. The high council,
in deposing General Booth and under
taking to appoint a successor, has chal
lenged him to defend his rights in the
courts, which he will no doubt do with
the utmost legal accumen and energy.
It is an exceedingly regrettable
rence, and one that will be
lamented by the friends of the
tion Army everywhere.

Two Brantford Office* Have
Had Only Two Occupant*
Two official posts m Brantford, al
though established in its early days,
have had but two occupants. For 77
years there has been a judgeship of
Brant County, and but two men have
held it—Judge Stephen James Jones,
who held it for 45 years, and Judge
A. D. Hardy, the present occupant,
who has been on the bench for 32
years. The second post is that of city
treasurer. It was first held by James
Wilkes, who, when Brantford was a
town, in 1872, he'held it until 1894,
having then reached 80 years of age. Perhaps more surprising is that he . continued active, and not until he had
reached the ripe old age of 97 did he hear the Last Trumpet. He was succeeded in the post by Arthur K. Bun
nell in 1894, and he remains at his post, one of the most respected civic officials
who ever held office in Brantford and one ranked very high in financial and accounting circles, as shown by his
connection with the Cockshutt Plow
Company and other financial concerns here.

YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEALTH
series of authoritative articles on Eyes and their care.
By w. Worth Davis, F.S.M.C. Optometri.t,
—PERFECT EYES
In this, the first article of our series, it
is probably better that wc should have
a clear understanding of all that goes to make perfect eyes. Your eyes and
your health arc so closely interwoven that perfect eyes can only accompany
perfect health, just as perfect health
other words, your eyes affect your
health, and your health will affect your
eyes.
The front part of the eye that we
think of as blue or brown, grey or
green .is really colorless and is called the Cornea. The color is slightly back
of this, in the Iris. The Cornea must be clear and perfectly transparent. It usually is. but in some cases, from injury or disease, it is cloudy, prevents
light getting into the eye and therefore
prevents the action that we are pleased to cal) ’’seeing” or “vision.” The curve
of the Cornea must be perfectly even
al) around or we have the much talked of Astigmatism, about which wc will have more to say later.
Just inside the Cornea is a thin clear liquid called the -Aqueous. This is very seldom a cause or scat of trouble except that occasionally it contains a few
floating spots. Usually these arc a
symptom of some other condition.
Floating about midway in the Aqueous we have the Iris. This is the first
really interesting section of the eye with which wc have to deal. The color
of this Iris gives us a key to the amount
of pigment in the system. The darker
the Iris the more “pigment” the system contains and the less iritation this
eye will probably have from bright light. What appears to be a black spot
in the centre of the Iris is really an
opening through which the light penetrates to the back of the eve. This is called the “pupil,” and if you watch closely a healthy eye. this pupil will
open up wide in a dark or dimly light
ed room and will close up to a very
small spot in bright light. If this pupil
docs not react to light as explained
above or if both pupils do not open and dose equally, it is a sure sign of trouble or of approaching trouble. Consult your Optometrist without de
Just back of the Aqueous and the Iris is suspended the Lens. Most peo
ple thing of lenses only in their glasses,
their camera or their telescope, but
there is within the eye a lens also. In
health this lens is beautifully clear. It
is when this lens becomes clouded or completely opaque that we say you have a "Cataract.” So you sec a
cataract is not a growth as most peo
ple think of lenses only in their glasses, lens and in the Cataract Operation this
lens is removed, making it necessary to
have a very strong lens in your glasses to make up for the lens that has been
removed. A cataract will very seldom form in a really healthy body, but is
the result of faulty diet, poor health or cheap, poorly fitted glasses. All that
you can do to prevent cataract is eat
good reasonable food, avoid excesses
of all kinds and visit your optometrist regularly.
If you have any questions about your
eves, they will he carefully answered if adressed to W. Worth Davis,
F.S.M.C., Tillsonburg.

The Bell Telephone Company
and the American Company
THE relationship between the Bell Telephone
Company of Canada and the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company eonaista of>—
L stock—the American company owns thirty-one
per cent of Bell Telephone Company share*
The largest individual holding to 1510 shares which
is one quarter of one per cent of the total. The
average individual holding la 27 shares, which yield
an Income of 1216 a year.
The Bell Telephone Company to thus a great enter
prise which has become thoroughly democratised and
to thia the American relationship has contributed
two definite advantages:
First, It has been a source of new money for devel
opment. The American company, as a shareholder
hu never failed to respond, in good Un-.es or bad,
when money w*» needed to extend the system to
meet public demands upen it
Secondly, it has been a safeguard against exploita
tion. Attempts on the part of promoters to secure
control of the telephone system have failed because
the American holding of the company’s shares has
been in the hands of men who are interested in the
telephone business for the progress of the industry
and not for ite financial exploitation.

there has been an amazing transform

whom life is wider, better and longer,

Thi| Conclusion is supported by a

The following statement on branch
line construction in Western Canada
was made today by Sir. Henry W
Thornton. Chairman and President of
the Canadian National System:
"Both the Canadian National Rail
ways and the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way have branch line programmes
which will come before Parliament this
session. That of the Canadian Nation

for several months, has been developed
with a view of providing a maximum
of transportation facilities and dc-
hoped that work will start on the Canadian National new lines early in
the summer of the present year and
continue through the next three seasons. •"Discussions arc in progress between
the two companies to determine what
differences in the programmes maybe composed. It is not probable that al
of these differences will be adjusted
and certain contentious points will be
submitted for Ihe decision of Parlia

the expenditure of money for com

Canals, said:
•Quite recently the President of the chief competitor of the National Sys

the two railways. With that state

extent that the railways of Cana

other in service or in the duplication
of facilities, it is the people of Cana

"The Canadian National Railway,
are in entire agreement with the
observations of both President Beatty
and the Minister of Railways and
of the branch line programme of the
Canadian Pacific Railway and the
similar project* of the Canadian National railway* should be examined by the people of Canada with due
